"A blueprint for perfect pop songwriting, this is a complete joy from start to finish. Mek Obaam is the former drummer for Barbara Morgenstern and a current band cohort of Schneider TM and here has packed as much joyous strumming, goose-bump chord progressions and candy-floss lyrics into a bundle of loveliness as is humanly possible. Boom chacka boom guitars with accordion drones, King Tubby reverb, strung out sounding country tunes, click house, rock-a-billy goes early Who, and none of it too flashy...because the songs stand up for themselves. Listening to this reminds me of the first time I heard 'Pod' from the Breeders, structured with a sort of careless mayfly spirit, belying the classic stature of the songs that follow one another with an unreasonable level of consistency and self awareness."
